Car fridges
Am thinking of putting in a fridge in the Texaco bus.
Where is the best place to get them and can you get different types.
I am not sure what I want if I could get a retro type one and get it painted or go a glass type fridge so you can see the beer chilling.
Know of anywhere that would sell anything like this?
The auto electrician has it wired ready to go

I bought an Engel this year that is over 35 years old. It's a little battered but still cools like it's brand new. If you put the dial much over
half it freezes everything 
I'm planning on giving it a tidy up and probably painting it to match the Baja.
The next thing you will also need to have a look at is whether your battery is up to the task.
When/how are you going to use the fridge?
If it's going to be for prolonged periods without the vehicle running you will need a good battery or possibly consider a twin battery setup if you
don't already have one.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

about 500 million years ago i bought a 100litre "Trailblazer"
best fridge in the history of the universe
i take it everywhere i go & it doesn`t miss a beat & they`re made for off-road-ing
designed for transporting medical supplies through the mountainous jungles of Papua New Guinea
Buy a "Trailblazer", from Noosa (i think)

yep trailblazers are the ultimate in 12/24v cold boxes without a doubt but where to get from?
I used to stay at a mates place at kooringal on Moreton Is it had one and it's still going like 25 yrs later
can't kill it
however the engel is to go on the go
beats that plastic waeco rubbish that are basically the same price but made from sculptured poo really
